Thermomagnetic convection under alternating magnetic fields

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Thermomagnetic convection within a square cavity filled with a magnetic fluid was studied under alternating magnetic field. The aim was to explore the response of the magnetic fluid towards alternating magnetic fields. A set of frequencies for the sinusoidal variation of the magnetic field intensity was used to study the heat transfer characteristics across the problem geometry. The effect on heat transfer was quantified by an averaged Nusselt number. (© 2017 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA, Weinheim)</jats:p>
